1.) For developing film photographs, use Ilfosol 3 developer as the first step in the developing process.
2.) Use Ilford rapid fixer for both film and paper.
3.) Use Ilford multigrade for developing paper.
4.) Ilford HP5 Plus 400 has an ISO of 400, meaning that it is sensitive to light and does not require a long exposure time.
5.) Check the expiration date on the back and make sure that the film is stored at the correct temperature.
6.) In order to develop film, first pour the developer into the canister with the film reel and agitate correctly. After that, dump out the developer and rinse the film with water before pouring in the fixer. Rinse thoroughly with water again, then use the shampoo. During the process of developing, be careful to not expose the film to light (even red light).
7.) Open the film box.
8.) Pull out the film to the indentation.
9.) Press the button to open the film compartment of the camera.
10.) Pull the back.
11.) Find where the film should be inserted.
12.) When unrolling and inserting the first part of the film, make sure that it lines up with the back of the camera. This is the area on which the film will be pressed when you are taking pictures.
13.) Carefully place the film in the back of the camera.
14.) Unroll the first section of the roll of film and feed it through the opening at the other end of the back of the camera.
15.) Pull it further...
16.) And further…
17.) And further…
18.) And further...
19.) And further…
20.) And further…
21.) And further…
22.) And further...
23.) Turn the rewind crank on the top of the camera to continue feeding the film through the opening. Continue to turn until the notch at the beginning of the roll is nearly hidden.
24.) Close the back of the camera.
25.) Adjust the film speed on the film speed dial next to the rewind crank.
26.) Adjust the shutter speed to control the amount of time light is exposed to the film.
27.) Adjust the aperture ring in order to control the diameter of the hole through which light enters and is exposed to the film.
28.) Adjust the focusing ring in order to bring the image into focus.
29.) Ready to shoot.
30.) Wind the film a few times using the film winder on top of the camera (this winder is distinct from the film rewind crank -- it is on the opposite side of the top of the camera).
31. & 32.) Be sure to hold the camera correctly with one hand under the lens and one on the shutter release. This applies to both portrait and landscape photos.
33.) Press the button on the bottom of the camera.
34.) Rewind the film using the film rewind crank.
35.) Open the back of the camera and remove the film.
36.) Make sure that the water that you will use to develop the film is 20 degrees Celsius.
37.) Use this contraption to begin to unwind the film from the roll.
38.) Note the slide on the contraption.
39.) Insert the white plastic parts into the roll.
40.) Grip the film and contraption like so and make sure that the slider is up.
41.) Turn the crank on the film until it clicks one...
42.) …Two…
43.) …Three times…
44.) Slide the slider up and grip the film on either end
45.) Turn the crank on the film again.
46.) Pray.
47.) Grip the film like so.
48.) Pull the slider out and with luck, the film will start to unravel.
49 & 50.) Demonstration of how to adjust the aperture - the size of the hole through which light is exposed to the film.
51.) Top view of the aperture and focusing rings.
